Judging from the fine cast (how entertainingly maddening is Robert Carlyle?), there was no shortage of talent there. However, the plot itself was, um, hard to swallow, and the direction of the film is an absolute joke. And this movie may have had the worst musical direction I've ever heard (quasi-60s/Beatles-type acoustic background music for a film set in the 1840s?!). What should have been a horrifying thriller is instead a bizarre disappointment. 3/10.
